Urban agriculture, though often difficult to define, is an emerging sector of local food
economies in the United States. Although urban and agricultural landscapes are often …

Community (or citizen) science, the involvement of volunteers in scientific endeavors, has a
long history. Over the past few centuries, the contributions of volunteers to our …

The coupling between surface ozone (O 3) and vegetation significantly influences the
regional to global climate. O 3 uptake by plant stomata inhibits the photosynthetic rate and …

Plants exchange greenhouse gases carbon dioxide and water with the atmosphere through
the processes of photosynthesis and transpiration, making them essential in climate …

Among the terpenes, isoprene (C5) and monoterpene hydrocarbons (C10) have been
shown to ameliorate abiotic stress in a number of plant species via two proposed …

Application of two-step approach of evapotranspiration (ET) crop coefficients (Kc) to
“approximate” a very complex process of actual evapotranspiration (ETa) for field crops has …

This report provides a synthesis of current knowledge on the effects of ground-level ozone
on ecosystem services and biodiversity. Ecosystems provide an array of services upon …

Ozone–vegetation feedback is essential to tropospheric ozone (O 3) concentrations. The O 3
stomatal uptake damages leaf photosynthesis and stomatal conductance and, in turn …

Despite the surge of interest in urban agriculture, there have been few studies that address
the biophysical challenges and opportunities of food production in urban environments. This …

Rising temperature and tropospheric ozone (O3) concentrations are likely to affect carbon
assimilation processes and thus the carbon sink strength of trees. In this study, we …
